he didn’t have but like 5 assistant coaches hired and getting the tape from the players would be helpful and also show some buy in to Uf and 3) the high school season was over so couldn’t watch them play live.

Napier did not ask 2023 recruits and is not asking 2024 recruits to submit their own tapes. You think Derek Lagway had to put together a video for the UF staff of his highlights? No. Napier now has dozens of analysts to pluck film. They could watch videos on recruiting servicing sites. They could fly and watch the kids play in person. Attend all star games and 7 on 7 skill events.

Do you think any 4 and 5 star high school athlete is putting a tape together for any school? Not a chance. And if you think that elite players will put together a tape for the only school asking for one out of 130 division 1 teams and somehow think it makes sense and that makes them consider Uf more strongly thats laughable. UF has no more to offer than Bama or Georgia or Ohio State or Texas, etc. putting up barriers for a recruit just to “gauge his buy in”? I get it for a player they havent had time to see or contacts them out of the blue and tries to sell themself to Uf.

Same goes for transfers (that actually have playing time while at their current school). These players are not reaching out to UF and Oklahoma and Michigan , etc. Schools are contacting the players to gauge their interest. Should the player ask Uf…”hey, can you put together a tape of your offensive system and how you use my position and send that to me? Include a plan on where you may be going as a program since you were 6-7 last year. I need you to do this to gauge your interest and buy in in me”. That would be preposterous but no different that what UF is potentially doing to players.

Part of the reason the superstar transfers are committing to other programs while we get to evaluating a tape and grading essays. UF has 100 football staffers to pull tapes, watch games, do criminal background checks, lob phone calls to high school coaches, etc. being the only program to ask them to send evaluation tape is cutting edge not helping us sign transfers. I guess the other 129 programs, many of them more successful than UF these days, are all stupid and stuck in the mud. Only the Uf staff is doing it right?

what quality player needs to prove to UF how good they are? To my knowledge, Napier asked for the film from the high school recruits in Mullen last class because 1) he didn’t recruit them initially and 2) he didn’t have but like 5 assistant coaches hired and getting the tape from the players would be helpful and also show some buy in to Uf and 3) the high school season was over so couldn’t watch them play live.

No, his coach did it for him. Just like everybody in the portal can have done and probably has. The fact that you wrote an essay for a non issue is kinda funny though. Don’t get bent out of shape there, sport

Seems to be a lot of players - and not grad transfers- in the portal for a second time. I have seen many who transferred like < 12 or even <6 months ago…are in the portal again. Pretty unreal.
